!NOTES:Marty Grant's 10th Great Grand Father.


!NOTES:Once upon a time, researchers associated Col. John George of Isle of Wight Co., VA with Humphrey(ies) Cole of Essex, England, for Mr. Cole named John George, Yeoman of Writtle, as a son-in-law in his Will. People concluded that our John's wife Jane, was Jane Cole. However, Mr. Cole didn't list his daughter's name in the Will. Furthermore, Mr. Cole's son William Cole was in Isle of Wight with Col. John George.
- Further research has proven that John George of Writtle (Essex) is not Col. John George of VA, and that man's wife was not named Jane.
- Based on that, we have no paper trail associating our Col. John George with any specific section of England, so all references to him being of Essex are probably wrong as they were based on the Cole connection which has now been disproven.

- 2020 - Thanks to DNA testing, we have a strong George match who isn't a descendant of Col. John George. This man's George ancestors were in Northamptonshire, England as far back as 1700. That's about 100 years after our John was born, but the DNA evidence proves they are related. Does this mean our John was from Northamptonshire? It's a strong possibility that deserves more study.;
